I have never been a fan of change.
- Throughout my life, I have avoided change whenever possible.
That is not exactly a great way to live one’s life but that’s how it went for me. And I have to say that in some ways, perhaps this approach caused me less stress. Yet, the older I got I couple avoiding change with spending too much time with my feet up in the air conditioning. I would go from the zone controlled HVAC of the office to my recliner and the heating and cooling comfort of home. Again, maybe not the best approach to life. One result of all of this is the fact that I hit my mid fifties and faced a daunting moment that was full of change. I had to change my lifestyle or I was going to completely destroy my health. That was the straight up message from my doctor. There were no more suggestions or inferences. He was just straight to the point. But he gave me some good guidance tools to get me started. And actually, it all started by simply getting out of the air conditioning at home and walking. No more being a lump, I had to move. Well, this wasn’t easy nor was all the dietary changes involved. But one thing that did help came from the HVAC company and was air conditioning. The HVAC professionals installed a ductless heat pump in the basement so I could put in a sort of home gym. This allowed me to take my fitness level up another notch. And I was able to do so in the wonderful air conditioning provided by my new ductless heat pump.
